This is an event in which you'll have 9 days to create 3D, 2.5D, or pseudo-3D games using GDevelop, the free and open-source game engine. Two methods of creating a 3D game with GDevelop are by using PANDAKO's 3D extension, or the new 3D box object that is currently in development. Once the submission period is over, your game will get rated by other participants, and you will also get to rate other games.
The GDevelop Game Jam will be a fun, diverse, and inclusive event in which you'll get to put your skills to the test. There will be participants from all over the world, and you will have the opportunity to chat with other developers, discuss each other's games and of course, create a game from start to finish!
You need to register for the event right here on itch.io in order to participate. Please also join our Discord server for all information and notifications regarding the jam, and to meet the other participants.
Whether you finish your game or not, you'll have an amazing experience, learn tons and meet cool people from around the world!

Creating games with other people is a fantastic experience and is also very helpful to reach the end of the jam with a finished game, so do think about teaming up if you haven't.
If a game is not published on itch.io and gd.games (see video below for instructions), participation in the jam will be considered invalid.
Don’t worry about this too much, though. The most important thing is that you participate, have fun, and stick to the jam’s theme! Once the submission period is closed, you will have one week to rate other people’s games.
The 3 games with the highest overall scores will be declared Community Winners. They will get :
They'll also be awarded vouchers from Fanatical, our sponsor, to spend on their site.
1st - $50 Voucher
2nd - $25 Voucher
3rd - $25 Voucher
- Do we need to make the game playable on itch.io & gd.games?
Yes, you need to upload your game to itch.io for scoring to take place, and we also ask everyone to publish on gd.games (as this is the recommended place for GDevelop games and get feedback from the community in the future). Publishing on itch.io and gd.games is a requirement for this jam. Note: you can add jam to your game's genre when you export your game on gd.games to have it displayed in the Game Jams category!
- Are there Fanatical vouchers for each teammate?
No, there will be 1 voucher per winning team, the team member who submits the game will be awarded the prize and in charge of distributing it amongst their team accordingly.
- How long will we have the Winner role on Discord?
You'll get "latest jam winner" for a few weeks and then "Past jam(s) winner" for life!
